French Village - June 1940 (1 Viewer)

[sceic2]

I don't own a very good digital camera or I am incapable of understanding how to use a digital camera (take your choice of options, I am leaning toward the latter).

Here are a few pictures of my French village in 1940 being defened by a small unit of the BEF and the French Army. One French general has not yet realized the significance of what is happening to his country, he is holding a troop review.

The Panzer III is an Alex Prieto repaint of the AK19.

If I'm not mistaken, those buildings are kits normally used for train layouts.

They look like Hobby Bunker buildings.

I should have been more precise. I mean the ones in the picture on the lower left, and to the left.

All but four of them are from that great house painter George Guerriero at Minute Man Soldiers the four that are not George's are indeed from Hobby Bunker. The cobble stone streets are JG Miniatures

Brad,
You are right in that the buildings if I am not mistaken were sculpted by the mega talented Ken Osen and were designed as model railroad buildings. Matt ran the molds and they sell like crazy, they are superb. I did several for a customer where I added sidewalks, cut out the windows and added floors, etc..........

No, what I was thinking was that they looked like Ameritowne buildings for O Gauge. In my train days, I had a few and they were very nice. Here's a website that carries them, http://www.ogaugerr.com/products/buildings/index.html

I have not been on the forum in months. Anyways all but are Hobby Bunker Buildings. It looks like a paited some of them. George buys unpainted buildings from us and sells them painted. Anyways they look great. We will probably have some more buildings along with some facades available alter this year. Thanks, Matt
